00:00 At the 69th National Awards, Allu Arjun was honoured with the Best Actor Award for his
00:04 role in the movie Pushpa Tharaiss.
00:07 The winners were announced in Delhi on Wednesday and the list was presented to Union INB Minister
00:13 Anurag Thakur.
00:14 However, social media users are expressing disappointment as many critically acclaimed
00:20 films from the southern industry were overlooked in various categories, with many not even
00:25 receiving nominations.
00:27 Tamil films like Surya's Jai Bheem, Dhanush's Karnan, Arya's Sarpatta Paramarai, Simbu's
00:34 Manaddu and Malayalam films like Joju, George Nair 2 and Tovino, Thomas, Menal, Murali.
00:41 Here are the some reactions from social media users.
00:44 One user wrote, "Jai Bheem wasn't included in the National Films Award.
00:48 Do you know why?
00:49 Because no one dares to portray the truth of our casteist society."
00:53 Another user questioned, "With due respect, did Pankaj Tripathi truly deserve the Best
00:58 Supporting Actor award for Mimi over Manikandan for Jai Bheem?"
01:02 A third user commented, "She deserved the Best Actress award more than Alia Bhatt and
01:07 Kriti Sennal."
01:08 Yet another user expressed, "These three outstanding films and exceptional performances deserve
01:14 more recognition.
01:16 It seems that drug dealing and fletcherous gangsters are now the favoured best actors."
01:21 Not only were Tamil films sidelined but popular Malayalam films like Menal, Murali and Nair
01:27 2 also went without wins.
01:29 However, Home emerged victorious as the best Malayalam film at the 69th National Awards.
01:35 The National Film Awards will be formally presented at a later date by the President.
